The WHO Barcelona Office for Health Systems Financing is hosting a 2-day meeting in Barcelona in June to discuss the preliminary findings and policy implications of a new report on financial protection in the WHO European Region. The forum aims to raise awareness of trends, set the agenda for change and foster policy action on affordable access to health care.

Drawing on evidence, analysis and good practice, 100 national and international health financing policy experts and officials from 40 countries will explore key issues around coverage policy – the way in which health coverage is designed and implemented.
